Scared of being slim??

  • Try imagining yourself slimmer, maybe not your goal weight, just a little bit slimmer. You can probably picture that. Think of how you would act at the lower weight, or even your goal weight. What would you wear? What would you eat? Would you even talk to people differently? Would everything be the same? Once you lose that little bit of weight, think of how you would look with just a bit more weight lost. I think we are all just afraid of change, but we are more comfortable with a little change. If you can imagine yourself at little steps, it can help. I think it's more realistic to think, how would I look when I lose 10 or even 5 more pounds. Good luck! I hope this helps!

    Your're not alone. People don't always realize that there are mental changes and challenges happening along with the physical ones. It's natural - others may see you differently, and you may too. It can be a wonderful process if you dive in - picture not just how you want to be different physically, but mentally and emotionally. Your attitude will drive your happiness even more than your weight. It doesn't have to be scary - it can be exciting and rewarding.

    Good luck!
